S3 Complete a Multipart Upload

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

This operation completes a multipart upload by assembling previously uploaded parts.

Processing of a Complete Multipart Upload request could take several minutes to complete. After Amazon S3 begins processing the request, it sends an HTTP response header that specifies a 200 OK response. While processing is in progress, Amazon S3 periodically sends whitespace characters to keep the connection from timing out. Because a request could fail after the initial 200 OK response has been sent, it is important that you check the response body to determine whether the request succeeded.

This example sends a POST request to complete a multipart upload, which looks like this:

POST /ObjectName?uploadId=UploadId HTTP/1.1
Host: BucketName.s3.amazonaws.com
Date: Date
Content-Length: Size
Authorization: authorization string

<CompleteMultipartUpload>
  <Part>
    <PartNumber>PartNumber</PartNumber>
    <ETag>ETag</ETag>
  </Part>
  ...
</CompleteMultipartUpload>

//  The 1st step in an S3 multipart upload is to initiate it,
//  as shown here: Initiate S3 Multipart Upload

//  The 2nd step is to upload the parts
//  as shown here: S3 Upload Parts

//  The 3rd and final step (this example) is to complete the multipart upload.

//  Other S3 Multipart Upload Examples:
//  Abort Multipart Upload
//  List Parts

//  When the multipart upload was initiated, an UploadId was provided in the XML response, and it
